Covent Garden Haul

Hi ladies! Today I've got my haul from Covent Garden, when me and my friend, fellow beauty blogger, Ava, went shopping. We had a lovely catch up and did some shopping. =)

First up, because I was early, FOR ONCE, haha, I went into The Body Shop while waiting for Ava to arrive:
I picked up two bars of soap, Strawberry and Shea, because they both smelled yummy and were only 2 pounds each. I also grabbed the Love Etc solid perfume for 5 pounds because I think the Love Etc scent is AMAZING, but I didn't feel like shelling out the 15-20 pounds for one of the perfumes. But thankfully when I checked out I received a free sample of the perfume! I may have to eventually give in...

Then when Ava arrived, we went to the market area and found this sweet lady selling gorgeous jewelry and even though I haven't been wearing much jewelry lately, I couldn't help but pick up one of the bracelets because they were only 5 pounds and soo pretty:

The next bit I'm so excited about!! We were wondering about where to go next, so I was like "There's not a Lush around, is there?" and while Ava stood thinking to herself, she all of a sudden looked up and was like "Look!" and there was a Lush right in front of us, HAHA. I got very giddy because I'd never been in one before and really wanted the It's Raining Men shower gel. While the shop was a bit tiny/cramped, the workers were amazing and very fun and helpful:
I got the It's Raining Men shower gel, the medium size, for 7.95, the Butterball bath bomb for 2.30, the Space Girl bath bomb for 1.90, and the Comforter bubble bar for 3.99. I'd just run out of Lush goodies so I was so excited to stock up a little bit. I didn't go as crazy as I would of liked to, but hey, I'm not made of money! ;) Also, because it was a relatively small store, there wasn't THAT many bath bombs or bubble bars, or else maybe I'd of been in real trouble, hehe.

FINALLY, we walked past a store called Space NK, which I've heard of before but never went into, and I saw they sold Nars, and I've been dying to purchase my first Nars product, so we went in and I was drawn towards this gorgeous eyeshadow:
Strada: It's this gorgeous purple with gold sparkles. It was 16.50, so rather pricey, but it really is such a unique color or else I wouldn't of bought it!
Swatch:
Well that's it! We also went into MAC and we swatched the Mega Metal shadows from the Peacocky collection and I really wanted Prance but held back because I want to purchase some goodies from the Wonder Woman collection. Oh dear me, anyways, what have you bought lately?
